Product Snapshot for Virtuemart

Introduction

This Joomla content plugin allows you to embed your Virtuemart product information in a Joomla article. It is similar to the product snapshot plugin that came with Virtuemart 1.1x. It optionally embeds a product thumbnail, plus product name, price, short and/or long description, add to cart button and link to the Virtuemart product details page.

Very useful, simple and time saving plugin. Nice layout. Reliable support even for this, free version. There's no better way to embed Virtuemart 2 product information in an article. I use it to place accessories for specific product in VM product description. Works great. I highly recommend it!

This component allows you to dynamically resize and compress your site images. It includes a plugin framework, and is available with plugins to add a watermark, and to apply dynamic resizing to all your article images, and to restrict image viewing to chosen user groups.
The component can cache the resized images, and also allows you to encode the image path, which is useful if you want to hide the location of your original image files.
Optionally the image resizer can also include "lazy loading", so that images are only loaded when they are scrolled into view, further speeding up page loading.
The method of accessing the image resizer is very simple, you just pass the image to the component in an URL. This means that the image generator could potentially be integrated quite easily into any Joomla extension.
News
Version 2.0.3 fixes a problem with the language file that prevented the component from being visible in the Joomla component dropdown list
Version 2.0.2 includes some bug fixes
Version 2.0.1 fixes some bugs mainly with the watermark and image restrict plugin. The image resizer plugin optionally includes lazy loading
Version 2.0.0
This release is for the first time compatible with Joomla 3.0 as well as Joomla 2.5
Version 1.1.1
The new release improves the handling of transparent PNG images. There are new versions of both the main component and the watermark plugin. If you update to these you should find that PNG images are now handled correctly. There are also some small improvements to the image resizer plugin - it should now correctly pick up image style and alignment information.
Version 1.1.0 includes some improvements to usability, and also includes a new plugin that allows you to restrict image viewing on your site to chosen user groups, for example registered users only.

This plugin for the Joomla CMS allows selected administrators to log into registered user accounts using their own administrator passwords.
Optionally this facility can be restricted to selected administrators only, or all administrators can be allowed to do this.
Since administrators use their own passwords these are encrypted and stored securely in the database as normal, so this should not compromise the security of your site. Additionally you can restrict the facility to selected IP addresses only. The plugin does not allow you to log in as another administrator.
This plugin works with the standard Joomla login and extensions that use this, and will also work with Community Builder if the Login Field Type is set to 'Username, email or enabled CMS authentication plugins'.
Our tests show that it works with other extensions such as the Virtuemart customer accounts as well - it should work with any extensions that support Joomla authentication plugins and the core Joomla user account.
The plugin is compatible with all versions of Joomla 2.5 and 3.
Usage
Upload and install using the Joomla installer. Enable it in the plugin manager. Either set the 'enable all administrators' parameters to yes, or list the ids of selected administrators as a comma separated list in the 'Master User Ids' input box. If you wish to restrict by IP address then list allowed IP addresses as a comma separated list.
Now, if you are an administrator you can log into your site as another user by supplying the username plus your own administrator password. As far as the site is concerned you will be that user.

Once, many years ago, when this was a non-commercial module, it contained ONE link to my own site. It was not 'hidden away in the source code', but easy to find in the template, where anyone could delete it. I don't think that was unacceptable, it was common practice among developers at the time. It was long since removed when it became a commercial module.
